>>Sulphur Springs AR. Now before I get a map or check a history book, Is this area part of White River Valley?<< Charles, According to my topographical map, there are at least 4 towns in AR named Sulphur Springs. One in Benton County (extreme NW corner, borders MO, OK, and waves hello to KS). One in Yell County, not far from the AR river. One in Jefferson County, near Pine Bluff, further down the AR. And the 4th is in Ashley county, not more 'n a hoot from Lews-ee-anna. That's in order, from northernmost to southernmost. I bet AR post office folks get real confused, and hafta look at the zip code. Since I don't know which Sulphur Springs your father's from, I can't tell which watershed fer shure...but I'd be more 'n happy to make ya an honorary hillbilly (and technically speaking, none of them are White River Valley), 'specially if you're from that southernmost one...pore fella. Some folks on this list could fill you in on hillbilly language, and the rest of us can chip in and buy you a corncob pipe. But if you're from that Benton County Sulphur Springs (someone spelled them names wrong, they used that "ph" thang instead of a plain ole "f" and fancified it), you'd qualify as a hillbilly anyhow, and we'd just let you come on home to the White River Valley.
